I think comedy is the most difficult thing in the world, I really do.
My advice to educators is collaborate with parents; they know a lot about their kids.
A lot of parents aren't exactly sure how to go about solving a problem with a kid in a way that's mutually satisfactory - doing that with their child feels very foreign to a lot of people. It probably explains why so many parents tell me their kids don't listen to them and why so many kids tell me that they don't feel heard.
We never get to see that our kid is capable of solving problems on her own. We never start to build up the faith that they can actually do it.
There is still quite the vibe out there that as a parent you have to be completely in control and in charge.
Most parents are accustomed to dealing with problems in the heat of the moment.
Being completely in control is a fantasy.
Pain is just a state of mind. You can think your way out of everything, even pain.
Conduct is the grand test of character. Words are one great evidence of the condition of the heart.
I'm a woman, but I've been a sexist, too.
No subject is unsuitable for comedy.
